Subban, Neal lead Predators to 3-1 win over Senators
NASHVILLE — Pekka Rinne’s toughest test came 6 minutes into the game.
Nashville’s goalie made a huge save early on, and James Neal and P.K. Subban each had a goal and an assist to lead the Predators over the Ottawa Senators 3-1 on Tuesday night.
Ryan Ellis also scored for Nashville, and Rinne stopped 33 shots. The Predators had lost their previous two games in shootouts.
Rinne’s best save came at 5:59 of the first period. After defenceman Mattias Ekholm turned the puck over inside the Nashville zone, Ottawa’s Bobby Ryan had an unchallenged shot from the slot that Rinne stopped to keep the game scoreless.
